    Default In All Seriousness...

    In all seriousness, I've been writing bits of stuff for maybe 15 years now (very few bits) but I enjoy it. This last poem I really like. I myself like all my poems, but they're probably in reality shit. I wouldn't mind your honest opinion; like, don't care, or dis-like?

    Show me your best
    Show me your best and your best and your adulations
    Show me your soft brushes kissing faces
    Show me your nation's young steel makers and wine makers
    Show me your university students
    With satchels and youth
    Show me your houses filled with scents and feelings and food
    Show me all the houses of the voluptuous wine serpents as well
    The scuttles full to overflowing
    Show me all your dissertations
    All the studied and worked upon ones
    The ones that classify, judge and segregate
    Show me all your segregations
    Show me all your strength and truth and justice and right
    But hide from me your wrong.
    Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
    Walt Whitman
